Was haltet Ihr von Torrent ?
Gesucht wird hier nicht nach Methan in gasform. Das Methan liegt in den Kohlevorkommen komplex gebunden vor. Das ist eine physikalische Verbindung zwischen den Methan- und Kohleschichten. Die Kohle besitzt eine chemisch/physikalisch eine Schichtstruktur. In den Schichten ist das Methanmolekül eingelagert. Es muss zunächst einmal Energie reingesteckt werden um die physikalische/chemische Bindung zu lösen. Wenn das gelingt und die Energiebilanz positiv ist, ist das Verfahren wirtschaftlich.
Wesentlich einfacher ist die Förderung von Methan vorliegend in Gasblasen, wie es heute ausschliesslich technisch erfolgt.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2006--
Torrent Energy Corporation (the "Company") (OTCBB: TREN) announces the following developments from its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Methane Energy Corp. ("Methane").
Upon completion of the recent multi-well nitrogen (N2) stimulation program, Methane moved into production testing operations on both the Radio Hill and Beaver Hill pilot projects in Coos County, Oregon. Production tubing has now been run in all wells and production testing is underway. The Radio Hill #1 well has produced high quality limited methane volumes at stabilized flow rates for a period of nine days prior to being shut in for pump installation. Continuing modest increases in fluid levels in the wellbore have been recorded since the commencement of production testing, however, no formation water has been produced at surface to date from the well during this flow testing phase. A hydraulic pump-lift system is scheduled to be installed on the well before continuing with the production testing and this is expected to enhance the productive capability of the well.
The Beaver Hill #2, #3, #4 and #5 wells have all been swabbed dry after tubing was run in each well bore. Each well has been produced at stabilized rates for various periods of time and each well has produced for a maximum period of at least ten hours prior to the tubing installation. Fluid levels are continually monitored in each wellbore with an Echometer. While fluid inflows have been recorded in a number of the wells, no formation water has been produced to date at surface when the wells have been flow tested. Hydraulic pump-lift systems are scheduled to be installed in each well in the near future.
The Roll'n service rig is scheduled to be on location for another 10 days completing swabbing operations and pump and rod installations and then released from location. Thereafter, the wells will be flowed selectively to facilitate the acquisition of additional production and pressure data.
Sproule Associates Inc. has completed their revised resource assessment for the Methane leases in Coos County and they have increased their base case resource by 11% to a total of 1.2 TCF. In their resource assessment it is assumed that the coal cleat system is water filled, therefore, there was no free gas in the coals associated with this resource assessment. Results in the field, while still preliminary, have indicated that we may be operating in an environment with minimal water production from the various Lower Coaledo coals which could translate into a free gas component and a higher ultimate resource base. The Sproule resource assessment will be posted on the Torrent web site in the near future.
Torrent President and Chief Executive Officer, John Carlson, states, "We see the opportunity for a significant gas resource base in Coos County that has continued to increase in size over time. We are encouraged that each of our pilot wells is capable of producing at sustained gas rates. We will continue with production testing operations during the next few months to further expand our technical understanding of the various Lower Coaledo coal reservoirs. As with all North American coal bed methane projects, instant production results and understanding of reservoir characteristics are seldom the norm and patience is required to develop a complete reservoir and production model for a specific coal basin. We are prepared to stay the course and the early production data, in conjunction with the Sproule resource assessment, supports our plans to continue with further exploratory and development drilling throughout the Coos County Basin during our current fiscal year." Mr. Carlson went on to say, "The Company is developing a significant asset base in Coos County and we look forward to another season of drilling, completion and testing of additional wells in the basin. The Company will further delineate the various coal seams of interest, develop repeatability of the drilling process and optimize drilling and completion operations to ensure the next round of wells are drilled on a more efficient and cost effective basis".
On March 28, 2006, we decided to engage new auditors as our independent auditors to audit our financial statements. Our Board of Directors approved the change of auditors to Peterson Sullivan PLLC, an independent registered firm of Certified Public Accountants. Accordingly, we dismissed Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Accountants, on March 28, 2006.

TORRENT REACHES PROJECT MILESTONE: SUSTAINED PRODUCTION TESTING ON PILOT WELL PROJECT
Seattle, Washington – May 15, 2006 – Torrent Energy Corporation (the “Company”) (OTCBB: TREN) is pleased to announce the following developments from its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Methane Energy Corp. (“Methane”), regarding its natural gas from coal drilling and completion program in Coos County, Oregon.
- First sustained production milestone at Radio Hill location
- Operations continue with minimal formation water
- Evaluating potential market sales options for produced gas
- Expected near term production at Beaver Hill test wells
- Beaver Hill #5 well exceeds Management’s expectations
- Flow test rates expected before the end of July 2006
These past four weeks represent our first sustained production milestone at the Radio Hill Pilot Project. The Radio Hill #1 well is now producing continuously through facilities on the lease site. This equipment includes a hydraulic plunger pump system to lift formation water produced in conjunction with gas flowing from multiple coal seams. Modest volumes of produced water are currently stored on site for future disposal and gas production is delivered into a separator and measured before being piped to a flare stack located on the lease.
The operational strategy at the Radio Hill pilot location is to flare produced gas over the next several months while pursuing market sales options, including a potential connection to the Coos County pipeline system.
Torrent President and Chief Executive Officer, John Carlson, states, “We are very excited about the developments at the Radio Hill location. It’s our first test well that has reached sustained production and it gives us the potential opportunity to generate sales later this year. This is a very significant and important step in our development plan for the Coos Bay project and we look forward to further analysis and testing of gas production from this well in the coming months. It is a positive indicator to achieve sustained production this early in the project timeline when compared to other natural gas from coal projects in the western US and Canada.”
The design of the specific pumping and production equipment for the Beaver Hill #1, #3 and #5 wells has now been finalized. Based upon expected near term production, the Beaver Hill production equipment has been ordered. This equipment will be similar to the Radio Hill location in terms of pumping capability and storage of modest levels of formation water.
“The initial test rates at the Beaver Hill pilot wells are also very encouraging and we hope to bring some or all of these wells into production in the coming months. The Beaver Hill #5 well, in particular, has definitely exceeded management’s expectations during this early stage of testing,” according to Torrent’s President and Chief Executive Officer, John Carlson.
The Company has now finished its originally scheduled completion work on both the Radio Hill and Beaver Hill pilot locations. The Roll’n #14 service rig has been released; however it will be available to Methane on an as needed basis through July.
Mr. Carlson went on to say, “Torrent has achieved significant progress since we acquired the first leases in Coos Bay in the summer of 2004. Since then we have continuously added acreage in this area due to our strong belief in the commercial potential of this basin. We have managed to attract total financings of $20 million to date and drilled 7 test wells in order to prove our initial assessment that gas can be produced from the coal seams in Coos Bay. We are extremely pleased to see continued improvement in initial test rates and increases in shut-in wellhead pressures in all of our wells. We expect to publicly disclose the flow rates of our test wells at the Radio Hill and Beaver Hill locations by the end of July. The promising early production data supports our plans to continue with further exploratory and development drilling throughout the Coos County Basin during our current fiscal year and our next drilling program is scheduled to start later this summer. The modest amounts of formation water encountered to date could suggest that the Coos Bay Basin contains more than 1.2 tcf (trillion cubic feet) of gas in place as indicated in the report by our reservoir engineering consultants.“
